Nationwide protests planned if President Trump moves against Mueller or Rosenstein

More than 360,000 people have committed to take to the streets in nationwide protests should President Trump fire special counsel Robert Mueller or Rod Rosenstein, the Justice Department official overseeing Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

A coalition of roughly 100 mostly liberal groups is helping plan the 900 demonstrations, which organizers say would launch within hours of the firing or other significant action to thwart the investigation.

“No one is hoping for a constitutional crisis,” said David Sievers, campaign director of MoveOn, one of the groups behind the “Nobody is Above the Law” demonstrations. “But we have to be ready for one.”

About a dozen groups, including MoveOn and Public Citizen, began protest preparations last summer in the months after Trump fired then-FBI director James Comey, who was overseeing the Russian investigation. Their numbers have grown dramatically in the months since and have expanded to include the American Federation of Teachers, the Sierra Club, Service Employees International Union and Common Defense, a veterans’ group.

Why do they even have to draw up plans again?

Use the same plans they had for the earlier 200 protests.

Seesh.

I’m betting this will mostly be in Liberal cities. Cities run by normal people will not tolerate riots and other antifa crap.
